</question>
<answer>
! <para>If you want to run some a.out applications like
! Netscape Navigator on an Elf'ened machine such as 3.1-R or
! later, it would need <filename>/usr/libexec/ld.so</filename>
! and some a.out libs. They are included in the compat22
! distribution. Use <filename>/stand/sysinstall</filename> or
! <filename>install.sh</filename> in the compat22 subdirectory
! and install it. Also read ERRATAs for 3.1-R and 3.2-R.</para>

</question>
<answer>
! <para>a.out applications like Netscape Navigator require
! a.out libraries. A version of FreeBSD built with ELF
! libraries does not install them by default. You will get
! complaints about not having
! <filename>/usr/libexec/ld.so</filename> if this is the
! case on your system. These libraries are available as an
! add-on in the compat22 distribution. Use
! <command>sysinstall</command> to install them. You can
! also install them from the FreeBSD source code.</para>
!
! <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>cd /usr/src/lib/compat/compat22</userinput>
! &prompt.root; <userinput>make install clean</userinput></screen>
!
! <para>If you want to install the latest compat22 libraries
! whenever you run <command>make world</command>, edit
! <filename>/etc/make.conf</filename> to include
! <varname>COMPAT22=YES</varname>. Old compatability
! libraries change rarely, if ever, so this is not generally
! needed.</para>
!
! <para>Also see the ERRATAs for 3.1-RELEASE and
! 3.2-RELEASE.</para>
